Condensation and steam
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam.
This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy
environment and keep the dishes soft inside and
crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and
energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which can
be released when opening the oven door. This is
absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during cooking or
at the end of it to allow any build up of steam
or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a
fault with the oven. To prevent discolouration, regularly
wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 230°C.
• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
on the oven base.
• Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12
in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour,
etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to the food
inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
Hints and Tips
Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door.
Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using
the door handle, until it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with
two shelves. The shelf positions are counted from
the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Be careful when you insert and remove the grid and
the dripping pan from the oven in order not to
damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven cavity.
Attention! - Do not place objects on the oven
base and do not cover any part of the oven with
aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause
a heat build-up which would affect the baking
results and damage the oven enamel. Always
place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium
trays on the grid which has been inserted in the
oven shelves.
